Paul Sheridan took overall victory on last weekend’s ALMC Stages Rally alongside Cavan man Jonathan Pringle. The event was not a round of domestic Rally Championships and attracted a small but competitive field. The pair put in a late entry for the event and were involved in a close battle with the Escort of Armagh brothers Damien & Martin Toner. At the finish of the nine stage event, the Cavan/Monaghan pairing came home 8.4 seconds clear.
Pringle/Sheridan were involved in a close battle with the Subaru WRC of Steve Wood/Keith Moriarty over the opening stages. After the latter’s retirement on stage six, Pringle/Sheridan were able to hold off the challenges of the Toner’s to secure the overall win. Martin Connolly guided Liam Bowhan to fine 5th overall and 1st in class in their Starlet. Gary Cassidy/Paul Kelly charged to 6th overall and 2nd in class in their Civic on their best run yet.
Jack McKenna guided Jason Black to 10th overall and 1st in class in their Starlet. His father, Barry McKenna returned to the stages with navigator Mac Kierans. They finished 15th overall and 3rd in class 13.
